I tried to update firmware for my Star n9500 (mtk6589) - in my firmware ringer/speaker didnt worked !!!
i used SP flash tool, and windows disconected in the middle of the proces.
Phone was dead after that, now im getting error BROM ERROR: S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032) - [EMI] Enable DRAM Failed!
So no way to upload old or new firmware always same problem. I tested 3 computer + 3 different USB cables, always same error, 2 different firmwares (from needrom.com)

Windows detect phone as MTK USB port or some times (i still dont know how exactly) i get also detected as DA USB VCOM PORT (in drivers details i have id VID_OE8B&PID_2001) - but also in this mod SPflash tool (im using verson v3.1304.0.119) do not start to trnsfer data. (here programming dont start - so i dont get error)

Any idea how to fix the phone?

Make sure ALL files in the checklist on the side are present - Got similar errors when flashing rom without preloader to a different device.

There might be some clues to pick up here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1943442

... I'd want to start with making sure you're flashing a rom that you're certain is made for your device - and make 100% sure Preloader is included!

I solved my problem.
As a last chance i tried to flash my N9500 with wrong firmware from Star S5.
And miracle - phone was flashed without problems , no errors.
After that was non functional, but this allowed me to flash original n9500 firmware, and phone was functional :)

Iocean X7 Elite Brick

I have just received my Iocean X7 Elite and was about to install a new rom. I had successfully flashed the device and then was trying to flash

the recovery with SP Flash Tool.

After the recovery flashed my phone refuses to turn on I believe its somehow bricked but have no idea how this could have happened. I did

format flash i only downloaded the recovery to the device.

In Device Manager when i plug the phone it it either shows up as 'DA USB VCOM Port' or 'MTK USB Port'.

When I try to use SP Tool to flash the stock Rom back onto the device I get an error saying 'BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL(4032)

I have no idea what to do next can someone help me.

n9500 woos

You guys are scaring me with the problems your having with flashing/rooting/recovery installation on the n9500. I just order one off ebay for my wife whos been a good miss' using her Optimus T and hasnt complained about it, well, to much. But I am glad that some of you have found help and or fix the problems yourself. I plan on ordering one myself but it looks like i'll have to leave it stock for a time until we got our own section on the forums which i think would help with cookin the roms and receiving help when things go a muck.
